I really liked the first Despicable Me a whole lot more than I thought I would. Despicable Me 2 was just a blast and boosted me into Minion Mania! Then Minions came out, and I was over the whole thing and was hoping it would all just…..aaaaand Gru has a twin brother. His name is Dru. They look like pudgier versions of the Woody Harrelson twins introduced in Now You See Me 2. That was a franchise killer. Just saying. Despicable Me 3 releases June 30, 2017.

I really liked the first Despicable Me a whole lot more than I thought I would. Despicable Me 2 was just a blast and boosted me into Minion Mania! Then Minions came out, and I was over the whole thing and was hoping it would all just…..oh and here’s the Despicable Me 3 trailer and I’m sure Minions 2 isn’t far behind. Thank you, Disney and Pixar, for (mostly) carrying animation. Despicable Me 3 releases June 30, 2017.

I love the Minions. They’re utterly ridiculous and completely hysterical. In Despicable Me 2, the Minions really stole the show and so it’s no surprise that we’re getting an ALL MINIONS film!

They’re Minions and they do crazy things and seem to have hair-trigger death wishes for each other. Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm and Miranda Cosgrove lead the voice cast that will not me speaking Minionese (in which I am fluent). Minions rampage into theaters on July 10, 2015.

In Despicable Me 1, the minions were cool sidekicks. In Despicable Me 2, they completely took over the movie (to the betterment of the film) and became a pop culture phenomenon. Next summer Minions take center stage. The spin-off film will star Sandra Bullock and a plot summary also accompanied the first look at the film: Continue reading Trailer Time: Minions (2015) *Despicable Me Spin-Off*→

I have not had more fun in a movie this year than in basking in the glory that are the minions run amok. Minion anarchy pleases me far beyond the levels it should a grown man….even one who is now staring at the minion figures bedecking his desk….they’re awesome, ok!?!
